If you haven't already, try lowering the settings to the easiest level, it makes a huge difference, even over the normal/default.

Tue 14th Jun The 'balanced rather than trying to take your money' was always my assumption too, however they were sold (especially in Japan) as being super arcade accurate and to train yourself for competing in arcade tournaments, so I've always wondered if that was in my head or the arcade cabinets I encountered back in the day just had owners purposefully set the dip switches to be super hard to make profits.

As a disclaimer: I really like the early MK games, regardless of if the cpu cheats I've never felt or noticed Capcom's games doing that, though the difficulty can be brutal and expect almost superhuman reactions speeds. MVG actually went through the original code to prove it does it on purpose. I always felt this, and multiple people have proved it in slow motion videos. In MK3 its so bad that even when you've already excetued a move that should connect and the animation frame has played, the computer will ignore that and block or counter (often with a throw) the next frame. I don't know enough to speak authorititavely on it, but I never felt any of the mainline SF games 'input read' and then react before you have a chance to, in the way that MKII, 3 and certain other well known arcade fighters do. However I will concede that even on the easiest settings the single player experience still seems harder than I used to find the SNES and PC-DOS games, and I'm never quite sure if thats because they are genuinely easier, or because they are the ones I grew up with and played for quite literally hundreds of hours.

But in both the Arcade Stadiums and 30th Collections you can adjust the dipswitch setting to make them much easier. Tue 14th Jun Yes, especially on the default settings.
